Jeabo WP40 failure

[stingythingy45]

Anybody have the pump start seizing up on them? Spin by hand....works then stops.
I know they're cheap..blah..blah. But, I didn't even torture this one with a quick wave cycle.
Is it even worth getting a replacement pump or just buy a new set up?

I had a wp25 do something similar. Make certain the silicone end pieces are pushed in all the way into the pump and cover. That worked for me.

Yep. Same thing happened to me with my wp25.
I could only run mine on constant mode. If I used it on any pulse mode, the impeller would seize.

Did you try cleaning the whole pump in vinegar. May or may not help.

It's clean, even took it apart, It still craps out.

How old is it?

Is this a common problem with these power heads? I liked the fact they had a wave mode and that would be my reason for purchasing them?

It worked great for about a year.
